### 1/5 — Not worth the trouble anymore

*2023-04-25*

Others have referred to the change that was introduced a few months ago. Now it is very problematic in getting the newspaper to downloaded. It is very unstable and you can rarely get through the paper without some technical problem and have to start from the opening page which takes ages to appear. Today I have only managed to read three pages - the others are just blank and black. Enough is enough.

### 3/5 — Not impressed at all

*2023-04-03*

No html index is very poor. e.g. go through all the pages to read a sport item, come out, want to read the next sport item & you have to scroll through the whole newspaper to get there. Will not continue after the free trial period.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-12-22*

Don’t waste your money keeps crashing so you only get to read half a newspaper!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2017-07-22*

Totally useless now- message received out of blue saying subscription terminated with no explanation. No way to resubscribe or restore subscription. Have e mailed tablet support saying needs resolving. Waiting.......................

### 1/5 — Failed

*2017-07-20*

Ok while it worked, then had email from Apple to say my subscription had been terminated; no reason given, the Mail help link is broken and does not work and there seems to be no way to renew a subscription and no help forthcoming from ITunes or Apple.

### 1/5 — Update does not work

*2017-07-18*

My download has failed too. Got an email from Apple on 15 July saying my subscription has been suspended. No reason given. I last paid on 26th June so they owe me a week. I've tried to re-subscribe but no joy. All I get is a IAP error and cannot contact iTunes Store. I can purchase from other apps so it's not me. Who can we contact?  Please sort this.

### 1/5 — Rubbish
